In her 60 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II has never been mistaken for a Bond girl - until London's Summer Olympics.

During the opening ceremony, dashing Daniel Craig, dressed as James Bond, strode into a Buckingham Palace room to find sitting at a desk - the queen! "Good evening, Mr. Bond," she said, smiling slightly.

The odd couple boarded a helicopter in the back garden and headed for Olympic Stadium. As the chopper hovered over the stadium, the "queen" - actually a double in the same dress - parachuted down. Then the real queen arrived more, well, regally, to roars of applause.

Clint steals the convention

A Hollywood royal made a little mischief this summer, too. Clint Eastwood turned up at the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August to give what was supposed to be a five-minute speech blessing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. But no one imagined he could be incoherent. And not funny.

Obama's team tweeted a picture of the back of a chair with the back of Obama's head above it and the line, "This seat is taken."

Romney later said he laughed at the performance. Eastwood seemed to brush the whole thing off, telling USA TODAY: "It was just a private-life deal that came over me at the last minute."

Anne Hathaway skips the underwear

Taking quite a departure from her cheery, good-girl image, the Golden Globe-nominated actress vamped it up on the red carpet at the New York premiere of Les Misérables in a fitted black Tom Ford gown, which she wore with a pair of complex, over-the-knee (and over-the-top) bondage-inspired boots, also by Ford.

But Hathaway's night got off to an, um, interesting start, when photographers snapped her bare crotch as she got out of the car. Oops!
